"This week in EVE" is a weekly overview of EVE Online related news and events and shows what is going on in EVE Online. The focus of this overview is on official news from CCP: For example, dev blogs and important forum posts by CCP developers, the ever evolving background story and upcoming events. The summary of the previous week 1/2014 can be found here. Available is also the overview 2014

The current "This week in EVE" gives on overview of the week 2/2014 from January 4th to 10th


Dev blogs and official information


Devposts on the forum and news
[list]
  • New Eden Open II signup page live!
    • The signup page for the New Eden Open II, the $25,000 cash tournament to be held early March 2014, is live now and open! Head over to the signup page and register your team!

  • Use of Marauders in the first 6 weeks after Rubicon
    • Thankfully CCP Fozzie came up with interesting statistics regarding the use of Marauders in the first six weeks after Rubicon: 159,640,990 (after resists are applied) points of damage were dished out in PVP, placing each of the four Marauders firmly in the middle of the pack when compared to faction and pirate battleships. Also 12% more highsec Incursion dungeons have been completed per day since Rubicon compared to the 12 weeks before Rubicon.

  • Command ships based on T2 destroyers?
    • While CCP Fozzie confirms that the idea of having command ship functionality available with new T2 destroyers has some merits, a closer investigation of this idea to if it is indeed viable has to wait until the next big iteration on warfare link mechanics. Please don't get the hopes too high for any quick implementation of this idea!

  • Who is the "Worried CONCORD Guy" we have seen now several times in the trailers?
    • One intriguing question the community has asked revolves around the CONCORD press officer shown now in several trailers here and here. As CCP Falcon confirms, this person is a spokesman for the Directive Enforcement Department (DED) and not Odo Korachi. In fact, CCP Falcon elaborates that sometimes the message is more important than the person delivering the message!

  • Don't badpost on the forums
    • Please follow the forum rules and do not post something without content on our forums. CCP Falcon will spot everything with his eagles ... errr falcon eyes.

  • An amazing EVE painting
    • Estreya Koraka has created an awesome EVE themed painting; you can view it yourself here. CCP Paradox is completely right when he says that this is amazing! Well done!

  • Adjust the delay for the Radial menu to appear
    • You can adjust the delay it takes until the Radial menu appears after keeping the mouse clicked in space. CCP karkur helps and explains that the according option is to be found in the general menu (press ESC) at the 'General' tab near the bottom of the center column.

  • Updates on the Sisters of EVE battleship coming with Rubicon 1.1
    • CCP Rise gives a detailed update on the Sisters of EVE battleship, the Nestor, which will be deployed with Rubicon 1.1 on January 28. The ship price will be closely watched and, if necessary, adjusted. CCP Rise continues to discuss and addresses a lot of feedback and concerns. Follow up also his further replies in the thread.

  • New Eden Open II site now live!
    • The New Eden Open II (NEO II) site is now live so that you and your team can sign up....

    Special announcement - Weekly summaries as email newsletter?
    We are considering sending the "This Week in EVE" also via email as newsletter. You would be able to subscribe to this newsletter and then every week you would receive the weekly summary delivered to you. At this moment we are figuring out if there is a demand for such an email delivery service.

    If you are interested in receiving the weekly summaries via email, please subscribe here: Signup to EVEWeekly

    If we see that enough people are interested in this service, we will go ahead and implement the email delivery. If we see that the demand is too low to justify the additional workload, we will not proceed with this idea. It is up to you!

    Should I reserve a lot of time today to read up on EVE... seems so.

    After a few quiet weeks due to the holidays the devs are in full speed ahead again! We also have the Rubicon 1.1 point release on January 28 and this means even more news and exciting stuff to catch up with! Big smile

    Could we get it as an EVEMail as opposed to OOG Mail?

    An interesting idea! I will investigate the options available and see how much extra work would be involved. Sadly the hours spent working on something are gone and cannot be used to work on something else - so either the additional workload needs to low or the gains need to be high.

    Could be an ISD's job to copy the post (with links) and just send it on to a mailing list as said above?

    Weekly Anoikis Telegram Service? "WATS happening?" ... just kidding of courseLol

    The link provided for Dr EyjoG's Fast Company interview took me instead to a fascinating profile of Ricky Gervais.

    Shocked

    However, a brief google search later and:

    http://www.fastcompany.com/3024392/meet-the-alan-greenspan-of-virtual-currency-in-eve-online

    got me to the proper article.

    That is odd, the mentioned link works fine for me and colleagues.
